Description
FIELD OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE
The present disclosure relates to a technology field of
electrochemistry, and particularly relates to an electrochemical
energy storage device.
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE
Due to advantages, such as a high operating voltage, a small
volume, a light weight, a high specific capacity, non-memory
effect, non-pollution, a small self-discharge and a long cycle
life, a lithium-ion secondary battery has been widely applied in
various fields, such as communication, electrical appliance,
electronic information, power device, storage device and the like,
and as the society develops rapidly, people present higher
requirements on the lithium-ion secondary battery in energy
density, charge-discharge rate, cycle life and safety
performance.
Drop test is a relatively strict safety test of the lithium-ion
secondary battery. Problems, that top sealing is burst out,
electrolyte is leaked, separator wrinkles, internal short circuit
is established, tab is broken, and so on, easily occur when the
lithium-ion secondary battery is dropped. At present, using an
adhesive tape to tie a cell up or enlarging a region for the top
sealing may resolve the problems, that top sealing is burst out,
electrolyte is leaked and tab is broken and the like, but the above
two methods will decrease the energy density of the lithium-ion
secondary battery, and cannot resolve the problems that separator
shrinks and wrinkles and internal short circuit is established and
the like when the lithium-ion secondary battery is dropped. By
adhering the conventional double-sided adhesive tape to a position
between the cell and a package may resolve the above problems when
the lithium-ion secondary battery is dropped, but because the two
surfaces of the adhesive tape are both adhesive, when the cell is
put into the package, the adhesive tape will be adhered with the
package, thereby increasing the difficulty to put the cell into the
package (that is the cell enters into the package).
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE
In view of the problems existing in the background of the present
disclosure, an object of the present disclosure is to provide an
electrochemical energy storage device, the electrochemical energy
storage device may not only fixedly connect the cell to the package
so as to resolve the problems during the drop test, but also may
resolve the problem that the cell is difficult to put into the
package because the two surfaces of the binding material are both
adhesive, the electrochemical energy storage device also has an
excellent cycle performance and an excellent charge-discharge
performance under a high rate.
In order to achieve the above object, the present disclosure
provides an electrochemical energy storage device, which comprises
a cell, an electrolyte and a package. The cell comprises a positive
electrode plate, a negative electrode plate and a separator
positioned between the positive electrode plate and the negative
electrode plate; the electrolyte immerses the cell; the package
accommodates the cell and the electrolyte. The electrochemical
energy storage device further comprises a binding material
positioned between the cell and the package. The binding material
comprises an adhesive layer and a covering layer. The adhesive
layer is directly or indirectly adhered and positioned on an outer
surface of the cell, and a surface of the adhesive layer which is
far away from the cell is an adhesive surface; the covering layer
is positioned on the adhesive surface of the adhesive layer, the
covering layer is dissolved or swollen into the electrolyte in
whole or in part so as to expose the adhesive surface of the
adhesive layer, therefore the adhesive layer can make the cell
adhered with the package. The covering layer is a polar molecule,
the polar molecule comprises one or more selected from the group
consisting of --F, --CO--NH--, --NH--CO--NH--, and
--NH--CO--O--.
The present disclosure has following beneficial effects in
comparison with the prior art:
1. Before the covering layer is dissolved or swollen into the
electrolyte in whole or in part so as to be removed, the adhesive
layer of the binding material of the present disclosure will not be
adhered with the package, thereby resolving the problem that the
cell is difficult to put into the package because the two surfaces
of the binding material are both adhesive.
2. The covering layer of the binding material of the present
disclosure is a polar molecular, and is easily formed into a
network structure, therefore the covering layer can absorb the
redundant electrolyte in the electrochemical energy storage device
so as to improve the electrolyte expansion, meanwhile, the
electrolyte in the electrochemical energy storage device is
gradually decreased as a result of electrolyte decomposition after
repeated cycles, the electrolyte absorbed by the covering layer can
be gradually released into the electrochemical energy storage
device under a concentration difference, so as to improve the
long-term cycle performance of the electrochemical energy storage
device.
3. The covering layer of the binding material of the present
disclosure is dissolved or swollen into the electrolyte in whole or
in part so as to generate adhesiveness and diffused into the
electrochemical energy storage device along with the electrolyte,
thereby making the separator adhered with the electrode plate,
preventing the separator from being shrank when the electrochemical
energy storage device is dropped, meanwhile inhibiting the
deformation of the electrode plate after repeated cycles which is
cause by expansion of the electrode plate.
4. The covering layer of the present disclosure has a higher
molecular polarity, which is beneficial to the ionization of the
lithium salt, therefore it can improve the ion-conducting ability
of the electrolyte, and improve the charge-discharge performance
under a high rate of the electrochemical energy storage device.

It could be seen from a comparison between examples 1-15 and
comparative example 1, the lithium-ion secondary battery of the
present disclosure had a higher pass rate of the drop test, a
higher pass rate without short circuit after the cycling test, a
higher pass rate without deformation after the cycling test, and a
higher pass rate without liquid expansion, and also the cycle
number when discharged under a high rate was higher. This was
because comparative example 1 used a normal double-sided acrylic
resin adhesive tape, the two surfaces both were adhesive at room
temperature, causing the position between the cell adhered with the
normal double-sided acrylic resin adhesive tape and the package was
difficult to adjust when they were adhered with each other, and
also the adhesive strength of the normal double-sided acrylic resin
adhesive tape was relatively small, therefore it must increase the
width of the normal double-sided acrylic resin adhesive tape in
order to achieve a better adhesive strength, so as to increase the
adhesive area, and in turn increase the adhesive strength. The
covering layer of the present disclosure was a polar molecular, and
was easily formed into a network structure, the covering layer
might absorb the electrolyte, and when the electrolyte in the
lithium-ion secondary battery was gradually decreased as a result
of electrolyte decomposition, the electrolyte absorbed by the
covering layer could be gradually released under a concentration
difference; the covering layer was dissolved or swollen into the
electrolyte in whole or in part so as to generate adhesiveness and
diffused into the lithium-ion secondary battery along with the
electrolyte, thereby making the separator adhered with the
electrode plate, preventing the separator from being shrank when
the lithium-ion secondary battery was dropped, and without adding
additional binding materials which was adhered and positioned at a
position of the cell across and surrounding the top and the bottom
of the cell; in addition, because the covering layer had a higher
molecular polarity, which was beneficial to the ionization of the
lithium salt, therefore it could improve the ion-conducting ability
of the electrolyte, and improve the charge-discharge performance
under a high rate of the lithium-ion secondary battery.
It could be seen from examples 1-2, as the thickness of the
covering layer increased, the amount of the covering layer which
was dissolved or swollen into the electrolyte increased, the amount
of the covering layer which has entered into a position between the
positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate
increased, which might enhance the adhesive force between the
positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, thereby
increasing the pass rate without deformation after the cycling test
of the lithium-ion secondary batteries.
It could be seen from example 5, the change of the adhered position
of the binding material would not affect the performance of the
lithium-ion secondary battery.
It could be seen from examples 6-7, when the temperature applied on
the lithium-ion secondary battery changed, the performance of the
lithium-ion battery would not be changed.
It could be seen from example 8, when the adhesive layer comprised
the inorganic additive, although the adhesive layer had a higher
thickness, the lithium-ion secondary battery still had a better
performance, this was because the inorganic additive might
effectively control the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer, prevent
the binding material from flowing to the sealing edge of the cell
under pressing or heating, resolve the problem of poor sealing
which was caused by the inhomogeneous flow of the binding material,
modify the adhesive overflow width.
It could be seen from examples 9-11, when the pressure applied on
the lithium-ion secondary battery gradually increased, the adhesive
overflow width increased.
It could be seen from examples 12-15, adhering and positioning the
binding material on the surface of the green glue tape which was
adhered at the ending of the cell played an equivalent role as
directly adhering and positioning the binding material at the
ending of the cell, and when the thickness of the adhesive layer
and the thickness of the covering layer increased, it helped to
increase the adhesiveness between the cell and the package, thereby
improving the pass rate without deformation after the cycling test
of the lithium-ion secondary batteries.
